Bill Plant Fuel Card

Fuel cost breakdown

All those involved in the oil business are getting their cut from the inflated prices we're paying on the forecourts - the oil-well owners, refineries and filling stations. In February 2007 Shell announced record annual profits of $25.36 BILLION. On top of that the government takes off nearly 70% in taxation.

Therefore as a driving school we have to find the best deals possible!

Bill Plant Ltd is please to offer you opportunity to benefit from the cheapest fuel card deal in the country.

The fuel card offers a guaranteed 3p off per litre (diesel and petrol) at all participating garages; this is more than double the next leading competitor!

There is a small annual membership fee of £25; this has been reduced from the usual £50 because you are a Bill Plant Instructor. You’re expected saving will be several hundred pounds per year, we envisage that you would redeem your membership fee within 6 weeks against savings made.

We know it’s obvious – but just in case, here are top tips for reducing fuel consumption:

  • Always fill up the car before the indicator drops to a quarter full tank. Thus there’s no panic and you’ve enough time to get to a cheaper petrol station. Leave it longer and you’ll fill up at ‘the next one I see’, and that usually means paying more.
  • Only use ‘better fuel’ if your car can cope. Many stations sell ‘high performance fuels’ yet there’s little or no performance difference for most non-performance cars; so only fill up with the super-fuels if you've a sports-type car that you've been specifically advised will actually utilise the petrol correctly.
  • Keep your tyres correctly inflated. Lower tyre pressure increases the drag on a car meaning you need more fuel, so check the pressures are correct regularly.
  • Fill up at night, but don’t overfill. Petrol pumps are calibrated by volume, so fill up at night when it’s cold and you get a miniscule bit extra. This is also a reason not to overfill the car after the nozzle clunks, as any excess may go out of the overflow and be wasted.
  • Drive smoothly in the correct gear. Always drive in the highest gear possible without labouring the engine, plus think ahead and slow down gradually, rather than heavily braking late. This will increase fuel efficiency by up to 30%.
  • A lighter car uses less fuel. De-clutter your car as extra weight means more fuel use.
  • Don’t keep the engine running unnecessarily. Drive off as soon as you start up and switch off the engine as soon as you reach your destination. Air conditioning also uses an incredible amount of fuel so make sure it's turned off unless you really need it.
